      I sincerely doubt this will ever be released in any format anytime soon; I wouldn't go out of my way to see, or own, this film
      I took a girlfriend to see The Passage at a movie theatre, back when this had just been released. This was a girl that had giggled all through Caligula and A Clockwork Orange
      About 1/2 way through the Passage she stood up in the theatre, shook her fist and screamed "You B*st*rd!!" at the screen during one of SS Officer McDowells scenes
      I had to take her home in a gale of tears, several people left around the time we did
      I've since seen the film in it's entirety
      Believe this was film pulled from theatres about as quickly as it was released
      Even with McDowell and A.Quinn on board, it's not *that* good a film, it's a B-movie with a 100% predictable plot.
      McDowell plays a brutal, ruthless, SS thug without any of the humor of his "Alex" character in Clockwork Orange, Quinns role is little more than a cameo to get his name onto the billboard

      Eminently missable
